Specific Purpose Payments and the Commonwealth Grants Commission

  • J.R.G. BUTLER

Abstract

The Commonwealth Grants Commission has, over the past ten years, been concerned with assessing the per capita relativities to be applied to the distribution of general revenue grants to the States in Australia to achieve fiscal equalization. In arriving at these assessments, the Commission has developed a number of approaches to the treatment of specific purpose payments. It is argued that one of these approaches–the inclusion approach–has an overriding effect which may place fiscal equalization in conflict with other objectives of Commonwealth policy. The nature of this conflict and its management are then explored
